The New Zealand Gardens Trust (NZGT), established by the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture (RNZIH) in 2003, is a Trust that aims to:
 * develop and maintain a database and website of gardens endorsed by the RNZIH;
 * promote the member gardens, and the "open garden" sector in general.

The New Zealand Gardens Trust has developed "an independent and creditable assessment process", to ensure that the gardens in the database are properly categorized.

The gardens in the database are arranged in four categories:
 * Founding Gardens; these gardens each donated NZ$2000, which enabled the trust to undertake a first round of garden assesments, to commission the website and to hold an inaugural seminar.
 * Gardens of national significance; these gardens are assessed by a team of "two professional assessors. The assessors consider a range of factors before determining the final outcome. These areas include (...): hard landscape and design, plant material and use, maintenance, safety and overall impression" . Gardens of national significance comply with the highest standards. March 2009 xx gardens in New Zealand are considered as being of national significance.
 * Gardens of regional significance; these gardens are assessed in the same way as the gardens of national significance, ..... There are xx gardens of regional significance (March 2009).
 * Registered gardens; these gardens have been visited by one assessor of the NZGT to ensure that the information published on the website is true and correct ; re-inspection takes place every five years. The database contains xxx registered gardens (March 2009).
